Error installing sql server 2019 development on windows 11

Question

Hi all,

I'm try to install on my last work notebook (windows 11 with last update path and all stuff right) a dev edition of sql server.

All other services are ok (sql browser, analysis service, integration services) but the sql server engine (also with a named instance I tried) I got always an error and service don't start or better the process is not successfull.
Here below logs from windows application... when I try to start it...

I hope in someone advise,
Alen

Answer 1

Have you checked the SQL Server errorlog?

If you see a message towards the end about 256 misaligned reads, you are running into a known issue, discussed in this article from Microsoft.

Else share the errorlog here. You will need to add .txt as a file extension before you can attach it.

I resolved in this way:

• uninstall all SQL instances
• modify Register Editor (follow the link above where Eland talk about "256 misaligned") - if instances are installed not operate after the regedit, you have to remove all before
• reinstall all SQL instances
• trace flag -T1800 it not necessary to me
